Runes of Magic is continuing to expand with Chapter III: The Elder Kingdoms as the next patch will introduce a new pet system. Patch 3.0.2 will add more than 100 virtual pets to the game, each with a number of different functions. The new pets can be trained or even combined to add new abilities and buffs to a character.
These pets can also have various attributes upgraded such as experience, talent and loyalty. The attributes will have a direct effect on your character in variety of ways. For instance, the loyalty value of a pet will directly determine the probability of it attacking an opponent. The more trained and happier a pet is, the more strongly it will support its master in battle or in producing crafting materials.
Update 3.0.2 is slated to release later this month and additional details about the new pet system will be released at a later date.
